I have a pair of goggles I made back in October. Standard welding goggles I got from Home Depot. My main annoyance is that the strap that is on my goggles keeps coming out, and if/when i wear it on my head when im not seeing thru them, the strap gets loose. So, my question is: is there a way that I can reinforce the strap that is already on the goggles without putting on a strap that goes over your head, or so I have to add the second strap? I know the goggles in the films has the overhead strap already on it. So how do I put it on there? ---

Cant you sew the strap to itself so that it cant move? That would probably solve what I think you mean… but I may have read it wrong. Lawrence ---

yeah, i’ve thought about that. I suppose I could. then I also wanted to know about how to do the thing like the goggles in the movies where there’s that strap that goes over the user’s head. ---

You could get an adjustment clip from Joanne’s Fabrics or something…they keep straps in place… like this one: > **[Welcome JOANN Shoppers | Your Favorite Fabrics | Michaels](https://www.michaels.com/lp/welcome-joann?joannweb)** > > JOANN has closed down, but your crafting journey doesn't end here.
